Jim, you make a good point below about the benefits of transitioning CFML to a J2EE platform. But as for folks making a decision "to go with a .NET solution over CF", and indeed in light of the issues Eric originally raised on the subject of CFML vs .NET, I'd like to reiterate a point I made in a note here on 6/22, viewable online at:
http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=messages&threadid=249 65&forumid=4#125748 With BlueDragon/.NET, we're going to offer a way for CFML developers to run their apps natively atop the .NET framework. Just like you note that one can move a CFML app to J2EE (in both CFMX and BlueDragon), we will give you the means to do the same in .NET. And that, too, will open up many of the benefits of the .NET framework to CFML developers. Just something to keep in mind in any debate on CFML vs .NET. It doesn't have to be an either/or decision. /charlie arehart CTO, New Atlanta Communications > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Campbell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 5:03 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: CF or .DotNet what do you think? <snip> > If your project's scope is large enough, a > license of MX can be migrated from a standalone CF server to a J2EE app > server and you can utilize the features that WebLogic and its ilk have > to offer. > > The benefits of .NET are a one-stop-shop for everything, from your > server software to your IDE to your operating system to your database to > your message queuing software to your XML parser to.. well, it's > compelling :) If a decision is made to go with a .NET solution over CF, > take it as an opportunity to learn something new, but definitely make > the argument for how much ColdFusion and Java have to offer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
